Isaias, R&S season 1 DVD's are at Frys, claiming to be uncut and uncensored.

Absurd slapstick violence and situations were a big reason for my finding classic animation to be funny. Once the slapstick was watered down to nothing (via political correctness taken to extremes), or done as "realistic", animation became boring.

Ironically, live action movies' violence is often pushed to the absurd by digital enhancements from wannabe animators masquerading as FX artists.

There are plenty of violent cartoons in TV nowadays, well, mostly on one main channel's sister company, Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.

Is the violence the same as classical animation's? Perhaps not, but there are some shows that feature gratuitous violence such as Superjail, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and several others. And if I'm correct, there's normally a blood bath in at least every other three episodes of Venture Brothers.

I think the real question is should there be more "classical" cartoon violence. I think as long as the violence has a purpose and is well placed, like in Ren & Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, so on and so forth. Then sure! Why the heck not?
